Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until just tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the orange marmalade, brown sugar, orange juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are coated in the thickened glaze and heated through.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
